I've been out of the weather center the last couple of weeks. I'm just sitting down and reading some emails.First thanks to all of you who read this blog. I often wonder if I'm just typing to myself. A couple of you pointed out the blog was not updated while I was gone, sorry. It's been kind of interesting around here with everybody trying to get time off during the holidays. I'll make a belated New Years Resolution to keep the blog updated more.

On a weather note, for all of you who got new ski gear for Christmas, this could be your weekend. Several storms are headed our way over the next few days and will bring plenty of snow to the mountains. between now and Sunday I think at least another 18" of snow will fall. much of it at lower elevations 2000-3000ft. Skiing this weekend could be fantastic even at lower level runs like Ski Bowl. Personally when snow conditions are right the slopes off Highway 26 have some of the best skiing around.

Just remember if you're headed to the hills this weekend, make sure you've got snow tires and chains ready for use. Get ready for the freshies... ( skier talk)
